"Going" race-obsessed seems a bit of a stretch, when the stripping dude with an Iron Cross tattoo was a thing in the long before-times of 2016. You can quibble about whether or not it's an emblem of white supremacism per se, but... Well, Adolf had one and was proud of it, and this dude probably knew that getting the tattoo. And then of course we have luminaries such as HHH who have... Well, let's just say "friendly" views around eugenics, bigotry against homosexuality and the like.

A lot of these people only weren't openly racist because it was the 'racism is a solved problem' period from the 80s to the 00s where everyone was assured it was in the past and nothing to worry about so it's okay to make those jokes now. When BLM came along because none of the material problems had actually been solved, like the rest of the conservatives they lost their poo poo because they don't recognise material problems to exist.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:The "professional" Libertarian commentariat going full on anti-trans and race-obsessed is genuinely not a great sign. The main thing about Libertarianism is that it is very self contradictory and thus people who believe in it quickly move on to other ideologies. Everybody who stays a libertarian for more then a few years is lying and/or very dumb. People who move to the left have no interest in lying about their new ideology. People who become conservative and especially fascist do tend to lie about it and pretend that they are still libertarians. This is why every established/professional libertarian sounds like a fascist. Because they are.

There's also a lot of people, like my conservative family members, who identify themselves as "libertarian" without actually understanding anything about what that word means.

Professor Shark posted:“People aren’t allowed to tell me what to do.” And that especially means not having to work with/live near people who live differently than me, giving me moral right to force others to leave. No I don't see how that's a contradiction

There's no more noble profession in libertarianism than the influencer: someone who sells ideas while never actually doing anything useful. Same reason there's more libertarian think tanks than actual libertarian policy proposals

I thought selling their children was also part of the canon, but that implies they own their kids, and... I suppose not? It's just not a coherent ideology.

VitalSigns posted:There are no Libertarians in uncertified unregulated submersibles trapped at the bottom of the ocean quote:The petty bourgeois is hostile to the idea of development, for development goes immutably against him; progress has brought him nothing except irredeemable debts. National Socialism rejects not only Marxism but Darwinism. The Nazis curse materialism because the victories of technology over nature have signified the triumph of large capital over small. The leaders of the movement are liquidating “intellectualism” because they themselves possess second- and third-rate intellects, and above all because their historic role does not permit them to pursue a single thought to its conclusion. The petty bourgeois needs a higher authority, which stands above matter and above history, and which is safeguarded from competition, inflation, crisis, and the auction block. To evolution, materialist thought, and rationalism – of the twentieth, nineteenth, and eighteenth centuries – is counterposed in his mind national idealism as the source of heroic inspiration. Hitler’s nation is the mythological shadow of the petty bourgeoisie itself, a pathetic delirium of a thousand-year Reich.

Mooseontheloose posted:Acknowledging harm done to black people too. Easy enough for them to blame it on Democrats. As for Jrod's opinion of the Redheaded Libertarian, he probably wouldn't think highly of her. I don't think she went to college, I doubt her SATs were very good not to mention IQ and cranial skull measurements. He might be more impressed by her daughters which she brags about being very intellectually "advanced" (from all that homeschooling and "natural immunity" no doubt). It also turned out that much like the Ben Shapiros and Stephen Crowders before her, she is another failed entertainer/musician who had dreams of being a famous actor/singer and when that didn't pan out married some right wing dude from Texas and basically assimilated all his beliefs into her own. Funny thing is she never mentions him, like at all aside from a flex about being married and able to have children occasionally. For a person who doesn't even believe women should get the RIGHT TO VOTE she's surprisingly mute about what her husband says/thinks.

What, is there a lack of pedo poo poo from Hunter Biden, and that's why he's not the perfect libertarian? Like invoking that is not the easy smug win they think it is, given who they voluntarily put themselves in association with.

I AM GRANDO posted:Why stay part of the protest party when you can get full fascism from the republicans? Well given that mises guys are the more crazy leaning I think it has more to do with them driving out the non-fash libertarians. For example, the party is refusing to run candidates against Republicans in some swing districts in order to not hurt republican chances. What is interesting is that is 1/4 losses despite new membership jumping on board with the mises switch. Pretty decent chance they gutted the actual party and some new guys are wearing it around as a coat at this point. Couldn't have happened to nicer folks.
